Okay, so I know I said I would be baking everyday last week, well I tried, What I didn't take into consideration was the M25. It has not been too bad of late, so I thought I stood a good chance of achieving my goal, that was until Thursday night when I got trapped at work for several hours, Friday was no better. My journey to work was extended due to the M25 being closed in the morning, so I had a delightful two and a half hour journey to work and then in the evening just as I'm about to leave another accident at the Dartford tunnel. I spent another two and a half hours getting home. This made me a bit tired and I have to confess I just couldn't face doing any baking. So a failure for my target this week. I set about making a sourdough loaf from the starter I made last weekend, not the best loaf I've ever made, in fact I have to say it was pretty awful. It did rise but took it's time but the resulting loaf wasn't very nice. I did make a walnut/seed loaf as well, this wasn't as bad but still not great.
A plus side to the weekend is that I managed to get some great baking bargains from the shops in Watford (tins, scrapers, oven gloves etc), also I managed to source some Linen for lining baskets and trays. So not the best start to the weekend but not so bad either.
